French
painter and printmaker. He is best known for his
portrayals of late 19th-century Parisian life,
particularly working-class, cabaret, circus, nightclub
and brothel scenes. He was admired then as he is today
for his unsentimental evocations of personalities and
social mores. While he belonged to no theoretical
school, he is sometimes classified as
Post-Impressionist. His greatest contemporary impact was
his series of 30 posters (1891–1901), which transformed
the aesthetics of poster art.
